My Favorite Parts of Thanksgiving Break
- Falling asleep before the plane took off, and waking up 2.5 hours later. Bonus points for a window seat!
- My younger brother staying up late to give me a welcome-home-hug.
- My other younger brother waking me up in the morning, because he couldn’t stay up that late.
- My dad and brother drawing a welcome home picture on our chalkboard (it’s a tradition).
- Waking up to fresh NYC bagels. Plain, sesame, and everything. Not a blueberry bagel in sight!
- Visiting my high school for Homecoming and seeing pictures of my favorite teacher’s new baby.
- Sleeping in!!!

My Least Favorite Parts of Thanksgiving Break
- Leaving early for the airport to compensate for the Thanksgiving Madness, only to have my flight delayed two hours.
- Forgetting a book for the airport.
- The subway.
- Getting the cold that 80% of Wash U students currently have!
- Not being able to buy meals with Meal Points.
- It was 19º on Thanksgiving.
- Talking to my WashU pals over facetime, instead of getting to see them in person 🙁
- Trying to fall asleep on the plane ride home after chugging a large coffee… oops!
Why Do I Hate The Subway?
